I like this method when I
have a lot of bodies to cut for the same species. I start jig
construction by laying out the top view of my pattern on a square block
of cork. Once this is done I cut out the top view and then build a box
around the cutout. Plywood works the best for this but "one by stock"
will work also.

Once the glue is dry I
draw on the side view of my pattern making sure you have the bottom of
the pattern aligned with the top side of the bottom board....

Next you can cut out the
side view and your Jig is complete.

From this point on you can
just cut out top views from your pattern using the Puzzle method and
drop them in the jig and place the jig on the side and cut out following
the top outline. Be careful not to cut into your jig when cutting the
side view....just follow the outside edge. The jig can be used over and
over providing you use the same pattern. This is very useful when making
a large Bluebill rig for instance.
